A post in the driving forum made me wax nostalgic, so I thought i would share some photos of some of my old horse loves. These are almost all in Salida, Colorado. Duke (Parson Harlon from Poco Bueno bloodlines) and I, approx 1984 Jo (Breezing Go Jo, Go Man Go bloodlines) and I.... around...

I am a photography graduate student at the Academy of Art University of San Francisco (luckily they have an awesome online program!) and one of my final projects for this spring is a fine art series of my 5 minis that I am calling Spiritus Equus. Here are a few I wanted to share with you all. Enjoy!

I told my little ponies they better run, momma's getting ideas!! !

I dont get a chance to visit the forums as much as I used too, but wanted to swing by and share some photos from the Snowflake Festival here in town. It was a last min deal that my daughter and I decided to do it. I spend 58 dollars on materials and 4 days feverishly sewing 2 horse blankets, 2...

Here are some photos from our show this year. Sadly this is the last year I will be able to work with the kids and horses, as my graduate studies are far too involved. But im hoping my girls and I can hit a few of the local AMHR shows next summer when i get back from Italy. This is just a...

I am reminded of the simple pleasures in life by these precious little ones.

I have a 2 yr old AMHR mare that Im transferring (finally got the lease done, yay!). She has her temporary papers. She's a sorrel pinto, and I wanted to register her as a PtHA as well. Do I use her AMHR name for PtHA registration or do I have to choose new names? and would she be eligible for...

Where we live there are only 2 mini horse shows in the immediate area, Big Sky State Games and The Montana Fair. Other than that, we have to travel a minimum of 9 hours to the next nearest show, and without a horse trailer that's not possible. My oldest daughter showed Spunky the last two years...

I decided Im going to show Surprise at the Montana fair. He and I have quite a relationship. He was a gift from my mother last summer and wow is he ever smart. Nothing escapes his attention and no matter where I go, his blue eyes follow me. He is my trick pony (Note: i've found teaching tricks...

My little gelding Diego was shown at the 4H fair by my youngest daughter Summer on Friday last week. The two of them really have a special relationship, and he has one of the sweetest personalities I've ever known in a horse. So suffice it to say, he is very loved. He also has shown a history...

It was my first time running a show, and the first time my youngest ever showed her horse. This is my oldest daughters second show. My youngest daughter came home with reserve champion showman, 2 firsts, 2 seconds and a third. My oldest daughter also got reserve showman, reserve halter, champion...

I have a senior mare that I am having a hard time getting weight back on after having a surprise foal last winter. She foaled in October and was a great weight until about April. Since April however she's lost quite a large amount of weight. I have since weaned her (its been about 3 or 4 weeks...

So tonight we had 4H photos with the club for our fair booth this weekend. (wow can't believe its here already!) Diego, the silver dapple and my daughter make quite the pair. When waiting for everyone to get together for the group photo, Diego decided it would be a great time to practice his...

We have our 4H mini show coming up week after next and then we are planning to attend a show in Billings 2 weeks after. The two we are planning to show have really nice coats, and alot of sheen even with the body clipping. I use quiksilver shampoo for thier white areas and manes/tails (One is a...

Before anyone flames me, I am making this post out of sincere curiosity. It appears to be quite common with minis and Arabians to razor the eyes and muzzles and remove eyelashes. It is simply my opinion that this looks unnatural and in some cases even rather gross, giving the appearance that...

I follow a number of horse rescues on Facebook, one of the primary ones is Another Chance 4 Horses (AC4H). They broker horses from the kill lot each week. A lot of driving horses and minis coming off the amish farms, lots of saddlebreds etc. While most the big horses go to slaughter, the minis...

Kind of pic heavy, I just couldn't decide which ones to post! My daughter and I gave Diego his first bath today. He was a champ as he is with everything. He and his sister (my profile pic) have the most amazing personalities. He's still in a rough clip from earlier this year, but I trimmed his...

Tonight was our first weekly horse clinic. I think it went pretty well. We started on basics like leading and backing and finding out which kids had the bossy disrespectful horses etc. We did some follow the leader and some other exercises I came up with. But then I ran out of things and we...

Love the new forums, haven't been here in awhile! I wanted to share some pics of my boy. For the longest time I just didn't know what color he was going to be. I had figured silver dapple but wasn't sure. I finally got to clip him the other day and I was beside myself! wow! He's just gorgeous...

Im posting these for my mom, her cat Mia is just fascinated with her marestare monitor on little Missy.
